Oh, the new Genesect distribution will be interesting for the Ubers, since it gives Genesect a reason to run a physical sweeper set, especially when most of Ubers is specially-based. The only issues I see here is Genesect's lack of a physical movepool and its relative frailty (although resistances should help out with that problem).

As for the localized Pokemon, the only one I'm excited for is (gogogo)Gogoat, thanks to the whole overworld feature. Also, we now have diagonal movement. Yuss.

I think a Fairy type is plausible, given Sylveon's name and appearance, a few areas on the Kalos map, and of course Clefairy/Blissey. I don't think it would be the best type they could add (I would much rather have light or something like that) but it isn't a terrible idea.

I honestly don't think they'll do a fairy type, however a Sound and Light type seem do-able due to how they're generally paired together. Although I think that Xerneas would be a form of Light/*insert secondary type here* and Yveltal would be a Sound/Dragon (or Flying) type. In the trailer it shows Yveltal giving off a form of Screech and with Xerneas, you can look at its antlers and see the different colours of light. I've read it somewhere like the way I said it but I just can't remember. So should they not do a fairy type (The only weakness I would see is like dark, ice, ghost, and electric...) I believe Sylveon would be a Light type. Also, if they did a fairy type, they'd have to do something about Celebi... It's a fairy in terms of looks (although some may argue a Pixie).

And, there are supposedly some more Pokemon: A seahorse, a crustacean, and another bird. No pictures that I could find yet though.

Edit:Rumors. These are not confirmed but the source is apparently somewhat reliable.

Spoiler:

Pancham evolves into Pangoro. You need to have another Dark type in your party for it to evolve.A Pokemon called Inkay evolves into a Dark/Psychic type Malimar, and to evolve Inkay you have to hold the DS upside-down as it levels up.New cats called Espurr and Meowstick.There's a Poison type berry-consuming move called Belch.There's a Fairy type HP-draining move called Draining Kiss.You can't ride Gogoat in most places, and you can't even ride your own Gogoat.Fire/Psychic, Grass/Dark, and Water/Fighting starter evolutions.

Edit 2:Pictures of those new Pokemon.

Edit 3:

Spoiler:

New wild battle intro: "The wild (Pokemon) you stepped on attacked!"

Edit 4:

Spoiler:

More pictures:Kofukimushi and Spewpa, the two stages before Vivillon:

Clauncher, the crustacean from Pokebeach:

Skrelp, the Water/Poison seahorse from...wait, they actually called a Pokemon Skrelp? At least it's not as bad as...

TALONFLAME!!! NO!!! What were they thinking? Anyway, it's a Fire/Flying type.

Next is Shishiko, a Fire/Normal type:

And finally, Furabebe, a Fairy type:

Furabebe can learn the move Fairy Wind.Shishiko can learn the move Battle Cry, which lowers the target's Attack.Also, it looks like you borrow Pokemon to ride on, but it isn't just Gogoat and it isn't just in one place.

Edit 5:

Spoiler:

Furabebe's English name is Flabébé (no, not Flabebe) and you can find them in the wild with different kinds of flowers.Spewpa can learn Protect, and its pre-evolved form is called Scatterbug. Seriously, what is up with these names?Shishiko is called Litleo, and its move is called Noble Roar.

Given the recent names, I have some predictions regarding Gogoat:It will have two evolutionary paths, one of which splits again later.Gogoat > Slowdowngoat > Stopgoat is one path. This happens if they have low speed.Gogoat > Gofastergoat > Arriveatdestinationgoat happens if they are fast.Gogoat > Gofastergoat > Goreallyfastgoat happens if they are really fast.

Either way. Let me remind you of Mr. Mime. And Ninetales.

And Voltorb. But at least those sound good. Talonflame just makes me angry.

Thanks to Aude for reminding me... Seel.

How could we forget Beedrill, Ekans, and Rotom? Those are pretty basic, too. But, like I said, simplistic names are alright as long as they sound alright. Talonflame just sucks. Scatterbug is fine, though.

Edit with new stuff:

Spoiler:

French name is Monorpale, Japanese name is Hitotsuki, English name is unknown as of now. It's a Ghost/Steel type.

Okay, turns out I was close on Yveltal (granted there was no proof at the time).

Mawile is a Steel/Fairy type.Certain Pokemon have "Mega" variants. They are MegaBlaziken, MegaMawile, MegaAbsol, MegaMewtwo, MegaLucario, and MegaAmpharos. They change to these forms through something called "Mega Evolution." STILL NOT TOTALLY CONFIRMED!Pre-Gogoat (Meekuru), a rabbit (Horubii), and a Raichu-thing (Dedenne).

CoroCoro magazine has revealed a new Pokemon mechanic called "Mega Evolution" as well as three new Kalos Pokemon. More information and clearer scans should be coming in the coming days. Thanks goes to Puddizzle for translating.

PokeBeach:

Some Pokemon will now have "Mega" forms which they achieve through a new mechanic called "Mega Evolution." CoroCoro shows Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Mega Absol, Mega Mawile, Mega Ampharos, and the previously-revealed Mega Mewtwo. They are each of slightly different heights and weights than their normal forms, feature new Abilties, and can be different types.A Torchic will be distributed over Wi-Fi from October 12th to January 15th, which can eventually evolve into Mega Blaziken. It comes with a new hold item called "Blazikenite" and will need to use a "Mega Stone." These are perhaps the item mechanics that allow a Pokemon to eventually achieve its mega form (our source had originally stated that Mewtwo needs items to achieve its new "formes").Each of the revealed Mega Pokemon have different Abilities than usual: Mega Blaziken has Speed Boost, Mega Lucario has Adaptability, Mega Absol has Magic Bounce, Mega Mawile has Huge Power, Mega Ampharos has Mold Breaker, and Mega Mewtwo has Insomnia.Mega Ampharos is now Electric/Dragon. Mawile has been retyped to Steel/Fairy, as has its Mega form.The term "Mega Evolution" was first trademarked back in February.A new female Gym Leader named Koruni knows all about Mega Evolutions.Gogoat has a pre-evolution named Meikuru, who is 0.9m and 31.0kg.Dedenne, the Antenna Pokemon, is an Electric/Fairy type. Its abilities are Pick Up or a new ability called Cheek Pouches. It is 0.2m and 2.2kg.Horubii, the Digging Pokemon, is a Normal-type. Like Dedenne it also has the abilities Pick Up or Cheek Pouches. It is 0.4m and 5.0kg.The Super Training area is seen in the scan of the new Kalos Pokemon.
